WikidPad is a free Python -based Wiki - Software to textual information with a simplified markup language structured page at a store. While wikis are usually run on web servers, WikidPad is a desktop program for Windows , Mac OS X and Linux . It does not require an additional database .
WikidPad is a kind of notepad software that automatically creates wiki links between pages. The system uses its own database to combine the individual text documents of the user into a wiki-like information system. The wiki links (the so-called "WikiWords") can be created by writing one or more words in CamelCase or by enclosing them in square brackets. This makes it very easy to create a mini wiki on a specific topic. You write data in a page, create a WikiWord, double-click on it, and another linked page is automatically opened. The wiki (or individual pages of it) can be exported in HTML format.
WikidPad was originally developed by Jason Horman, who released it under his own open source license (similar to the BSD license) in June 2005. Michael Butscher has been the main developer since October 2005.
